1. Your relationship with J.A.M.
1.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with J.A.M., your agreement with
J.A.M. will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set
out in this document.

1.2 These Terms of Service form a legally binding agreement between you
and J.A.M. in relation to your use of the services, facilities, and
organizational aspects offered by the organization. It is important that
you take the time to read them carefully. Collectively, this legal
agreement is referred to below as the “Terms”.

1.3 If there is any contradiction between what a J.A.M. representative,
official, coach, player, parent, or another entity says and what the
Terms say, then the Terms shall take precedence in relation to that
particular aspect of service.

2. Accepting the Terms
2.1 In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms. You
may not use the Services offered if you do not accept the Terms.

2.2 You can accept the Terms by: (A) clicking to accept or agree to the
Terms, where this option is made available to you by the www.jamball.com
website via the registration form; (B) by mailing in payment and/or a
registration form; or (C) by actually using the Services. In this case,
you understand and agree that J.A.M. will treat your use of the Services
as acceptance of the Terms from that point onward.

2.4 All Camps, Clinics, Leagues, Tournaments and other J.A.M.-related
events are subject to the Terms presented in this document.

amount at the time of transaction or by the date postmarked on the
envelope containing payment. Failure to pay the correct amount may
subject that player a monetary fine.

3.2 NO CASH PAYMENTS are accepted for league fees. Exceptions to this
rule are League Nights, uniform fees, concessions, door fees, and
certain clinics. Beware of swindlers standing by attempting to collect
J.A.M. fees in cash.

3.3 Refunds are not guaranteed, and are only given under unique
circumstances (as determined by the J.A.M. administration). Proration
may be implemented if games have been played by the team, regardless of
whether the player requesting the refund played in those games.
Injuries, relocation, disdain for the coach or team, and other factors
not associated with the J.A.M. organization are not acceptable reasons
for refund. All refunds (to be issued at the end of the season) are
subject to any fine decided upon by the J.A.M. organization.

number given out per event/season. No scholarships may be requested
outside of the designated periods, and no persons will receive a
scholarship without properly requesting one through the designated form.

3.5 All deals expire 3 weeks prior to the start of the season so that
those not accepted to receive any aid still have time to register at
regular price if they choose to do so. In consideration of these
individuals will we not accept ANY scholarship request after that time.

their contact information.

4.4 No full team is ever obligated to provide practice time for their players.
